Desc: Rural Blues: Directed by Ko de Korte. With Wilburt Lee Reliford, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Johnny Woods, Lee Andrew Howell. In December 1989 Ko de Korte and Tom Haarsma from The Netherlands, went to Mississippi searching for blues musicians playing the old rural blues. The aim was to record their music on cassette tapes, but they also had a small Super-VHS camera. The registrations took place in the homes of the musicians, sometimes in their bedroom. After visiting 18 musicians in 2 weeks they came back with a lot of audio tapes and 14 hours of video. In November 2013 they decided to edit a documentary of the footage.
